"Winter Warmers" for a Hamburg Squirrel.

Hand knitted warm, winter clothes especially for a Hamburg squirrel.

I have a good friend who lives in Hamburg where the winter can be very cold. She has a balcony on which she feeds the birds, and also the occasional red squirrel who happens to drop in to nibble some nuts. I took pity on this poor creature, and knitted him/her a scarf, hat, mittens and booties, to keep him warm in the snowy winter.

This Christmas present was posted to him last week. I have assumed he is a boy, and knitted the outfit in blue. How do you tell a male squirrel from a female? Are they smaller?

However, our next problem is to catch the squirrel, so that he can wear his new clothes! Does anyone have any ideas!

About Me

Still alive and kicking, and enjoying spending the winter months in Little England and the summer in Braunschweig, Germany. I have one life which I attempt to live with zest and enthusiasm, although I do get very tired. I suffer from the delusion that I'm only 40 years old and will never grow up. "Adventure before Dementia" is my motto. I am engaged in a continual battle with the German language, a battle, which I´m glad to say, I´m now winning.
